Does anybody know what the readership is for SJW science fiction? I get most of my science fiction today via Audible and there’s no shortage of terrific stuff that doesn’t insult me.

It's been an interesting thing to watch. The SFWA is nearly entirely taken over by political hacks and now fancies itself an arm of social justice. This is a reflection of a trend within the publishing industry itself; although the latter is nowhere near so pronounced, they tend to feed off one another. A Hugo used to be the key to a career in SF, so it isn't simply public relations.

The recourse is the one we have seen in news: the Internet, self-publishing, and the gradual diminution of the self-proclaimed Lords Of Fiction. A lot of authors are going to have to starve to make it happen, but happen it will.

One of the great things about our country is that if something doesn’t fit your needs or desires then you have the opportunity to create something that does. If there are enough disaffected SciFi writers that don’t agree with the SFWA and the direction it is going, then they can create a new organization that does serve their needs. All it requires is someone who is willing to step up and do the hard work. They should stop whining that the SFWA has been taken over, and like an overpopulated bee hive, move out and create a new hive. However, if the take over of the SFWA occurred with a minority of the SciFi community, then someone will need to galvanize the majority to take the organization back. Either way, hard work is required.

In plain English, does anyone have a clue what this is about, and why Free Republic might care?

Not exactly what I view as useful news...
